SANDRO NOVAES
Brazil, 1976
Visual artist, researcher, and professor. PhD in Art History: Artistic Creation and Critical Reflection from the University of Granada, Spain. His visual work explores questions related to the understanding of time, spatiality, immateriality, and the phenomenological relationship between the artwork and the viewer. Sandro Novaes develops visual
narratives that play with the presence of the line in its multiple forms, interacting with painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation. He has participated in group exhibitions in Brazil and Spain. In Brazil, one of his works is part of the collection of MAR – Rio Art
Museum, and two monumental works are part of public collections in Espírito Santo: Aurora, installed in the Sculpture Park of the Governor’s House, and Experimento Nido, at the cultural park Reserva Vitória.
